| I have a slight problem. I added some man pages that weren't formated. The
| man pages reside in a directory called man{1,2,3,4,5,...} instead of
| cat{1,2...} .
|
| My question is how to make man know about these non formated man pages. I
| have tryed messing around with man.conf in the /etc directory, but I just
| can't find the info I need to get it to work.
|
| Maybee NetBSD doesn't support this kind of man page. I sure hope it does
| because that sure would be a drag to have to reformat all f the man pages and
| store them in a new directory.
netbsd-current now supports unformatted man pages.
to get them working, you have to copy the man.conf from
/usr/src/usr.bin/man to /etc. after doing that, everything
worked [i didn't even have to worry about reconfiguring it,
since it's already set up for x and the like...]
this functionality wasn't in 0.9 howevver.
